how do animals survive outside when its -15 degrees?

[IndianaJones]

I'm a little worried about the turkey that adopted us this past summer. Also the chickens, though they can huddle inside the coop and have a light bulb in the barn.

The turkey insists on roosting right outside on an old cart. I will be shocked if it survives the night.

1. Feathers are good insulation

How do wild turkeys survive. This ain't the first time in history it's gotten that cold.

3. Arent turkeys really stupid?

Or is that just the farmed turkeys? I remember reading that turkeys will drown in the rain if they look up.

4. If they did that they would be extinct.

They are actually very smart in the woods.
